Hello.

Recently I made a thread to see which custom built PC was better, but since I realized that buying all parts separately and then building it myself was going to be a hell of a mess I decided to buy an already built PC and update it later.

So, I have 3 options, all of them are budget PCs that I will use for E-Sport games and some other recent games (GTA V, DOOM, ect). I might be able to change any component of these PCs before I buy it, but I don't have a lot of money right now and I need a new PC now before the one I have finally dies.

I will use the PCs for, as I said before, gaming, internet, videos, audio editing, Guitar Pro, Fruity Loops and probably for Virtual Machines. I will use a 1366x768 60Hz display, and I going to buy an external audio card to record music.

So, these are the builds, the first 2 are kind of similar, while the third is just to see if it's worth it:

Build 1 ($464 USD)

Intel Pentium G4400 Dual Core @ 3.3 GHz
AMD Radeon RX 460 2GB DDR5 Sapphire Nitro
Mother MSI H110MPRO-VH
8GB DDR4 2133MHz (Manufacturer can vary)
HD 1TB Toshiba DT01ACA100 / W.D. 1TB WD1EZEX / Seagate 1TB DT01DM002 (By availability)
Case Overtech OV-705 500W
PSU Overtech GT-6550

A similar build to this one runs GTA V in 1080p perfectly at an average of 55 FPS, CSGO and LoL at more than 60FPS in 1080p at max settings. The G4400 is more powerful than the G3930, but the RX 460 is not as powerful as the GTX 1050, this one has 4GB of RAM more than the other one, but is a bit more expensive.

Build 2 ($435 USD)

Intel Celeron G3930 Dual Core @ 2.9 GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 OC Low Profile 2GB DDR5
Mother MSI H110MPRO-VH
4GB DDR4 2133MHz (Manufacturer can vary)
HD W.D. 1TB WD1EZEX
Case Sentey G18
(A probably generic) 500w PSU
Includes a mouse, a keyboard and speakers (I don't need them but that's cool)

I saw this same build (but with 8GB of RAM) running Battlefield 1 in 900p at 30 FPS in low, Witcher 3 in 1080p at medium-low at 45 FPS, CSGO and LoL at +60 FPS in maximum in 1080p, DoTA 2 with 50 FPS at 1080p in very high, but I also saw some other videos with a similar build (16GB and a GTX 1050 Ti) not running Playerunknown's Battleground or GTA V very well, which confuses me a bit.

Build 3 ($376 USD)

AMD A10 7860k 12 Cores with Cooler Box
AMD Radeon R7 350 OC Low Profile 2GB DDR5 (Onboard)
Mother MSI A68HM E33 v2
8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 (Manufacturer can vary)
HD 1TB Toshiba DT01ACA100
Case Sentey G18
(A probably generic) 500w PSU
Includes a mouse, a keyboard and speakers

There are some other builds in a similar price that include a R7 350 with 4GB DDR5, 4GB DDR4 and/or an A4 CPU.

I heard bad opinions on the R7 350, and I don't know much about the A10 7860k. I saw a similar build running GTA V in 720p at 35 FPS by itself, and I've read about a guy who says that this same build can run Tomb Raider, DOOM, Far Cry 3/4/Primal at good FPS. The thing that worries me about this build is updating it in the future, since the graphic card is on board and I don't know if I can add a better card in the future.

So, what is your opinion on these builds? Anybody got similar builds to make a review? Which one should I buy? I will love your help guys

Hmm, the new Athlon x4 with am4 sockets are available now. Any chance those would be available cheap there? U can pair it up with a 4 slot b350 mobo. And a rx460. Gives you better upgradability than those pathetic h110 mobo. With b350 u can go 2x4gb for dual channel memory and still upgrade to 16gigs of ram.

I would build a custom PC, actually, I want to do it, but my current PC is bluescreening randomly out of nowhere, it doesn't works for anything more than internet (it has an AMD E-300 APU at 1.2 GHz...).

I'm not from the US or UK, I'm from Argentina and down here is cheaper and easier buying a pre-built PC. I made some research and this is how much it would cost to build a budget PC:

Pentium G4560 ($106)
GTX 1050 ($210)
Any decent motherboard (Around $110)
Kingston Hyperx Fury 8GB DDR4 ($121)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB ($65)
Thermaltake Tr2 600w ($82)
Sentey G18 ($25)

A PC like that would cost around $700 USD here, much more than any of these builts PCs, if I wait until I get that money a budget PC will be a lot more surely, so I need to buy a built PC right now and upgrade it in the future.
